Verger's Winter Assembly -

Church of the Epiphany, Atlanta
January 11, 2020


What is a Verger?
is a person, usually a layperson, who assists in the ordering of religious services, particularly in Anglican churches.

What is a verge?

The office's title comes from the ceremonial rod which a verger carries, a virge (from the Latin virga, "branch, staff, rod"; see virgule). The Maces of State used in the House of Lords and the House of Commons of the British Parliament are examples of another modern use of the medieval virge. In former times, a verger might have needed to use his virge to keep back animals or an over enthusiastic crowd from the personage he was escorting or even to discipline unruly choristers.
